A conducting sphere of radius R carries ...

A conducting sphere of radius R carries a charge Q. It is enclosed by another concentric spherical shell of radius 2R. Charge from the inner sphere is transferred in infinitesimally small installments to the outer sphere. Calculate the work done in transferring the entire charge from the inner sphere to the outer one.
